Meitei-Pangal Group Writes to Guv Over Social Media Posts by Meitei Leepun Leader Pramot Singh, KKL

The United Meitei-Pangal Committee (UMPC) has written to the Governor of Manipur, seeking his attention toward what the committee described as “continuous hate-filled and inflammatory content” being circulated on social media by individuals such as Pramot Singh, a leader of Meitei Leepun, and by the organization Kangleipak Kanba Lup (KKL).

In its letter to the Governor on Saturday, the UMPC stated that Pramot Singh, a habitual social media user, has been persistently sharing posts filled with blatant hatred and provocative content targeting the minority Meitei-Pangal (Muslim) community of Manipur—particularly through his Facebook account.

According to the UMPC, Pramot’s posts over the past several years—and more aggressively since the enactment of the WAQF (Amendment) Act, 2025—appear aimed at inciting communal violence and promoting enmity between the Meitei and Meitei-Pangal communities.

Meanwhile, the UMPC also alleged that Kangleipak Kanba Lup has been consistently involved in spreading communal hatred and anti-minority narratives across various social media platforms.

The committee stated that KKL has played a significant role in fueling misinformation, propagating dangerous stereotypes, and openly targeting the Meitei-Pangal (Muslim) community under the guise of cultural or political activism.

The long-standing digital campaign by KKL poses a serious threat to peace and public order, and their online and offline influence must be thoroughly scrutinized by the authorities, the UMPC added.

“These posts contain highly objectionable language, calls for aggression, and false allegations that could easily lead to an escalation of tensions and potential violence. Our community lives under constant fear and psychological distress, particularly in the current volatile situation,” said the UMPC.

Expressing concern that no stringent legal or administrative action has yet been taken against such individuals—despite their continued and visible role in disseminating hate—the UMPC emphasized that such actions constitute punishable offenses under various sections of the IPC, IT Act, and violate the values enshrined in the Constitution of India.

The committee urged the Governor to order an immediate investigation by law enforcement and cybercrime authorities into the social media activities of Pramot Singh, and to ensure the filing of appropriate FIRs and legal action under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), 2023, and the Information Technology Act, 2000, for promoting enmity between communities, incitement to violence, and dissemination of hate speech on digital platforms.

The UMPC also requested that the Governor take steps to monitor and remove hate content from social media platforms, in coordination with Facebook and other concerned authorities, and to implement preventive measures, including the deployment of adequate security in sensitive areas to pre-empt any untoward incidents.

The committee further emphasized the need for regular community engagement and sensitization programs involving both Meitei and Meitei-Pangal communities to strengthen peace-building efforts.
